These are just a small sample from our library of 10,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Selenium Online Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question
Medium AJAX Request Completion Handling Handling AJAX Requests	Try practice test
Suppose you are testing a web application with Selenium, where a button click (id="sendRequest") sends an AJAX request to fetch user data. The data, once retrieved, is displayed in a div with id="userData". This div is already present in the HTML with empty text. You need to ensure that the AJAX request is completed and the data is loaded before proceeding. (You can assume that the AJAX request will always succeed. Consider the following pseudo JavaScript code which is used in the web application: Given the above code, which of the following Python Selenium code snippets should be used to correctly wait for the AJAX request to complete and the userData to be loaded?
Medium Handling Dynamic Elements Multiple Iframes Dynamic Element Handling	Try practice test
You are automating a test for a webpage that contains multiple iframes. One of these iframes contains a button with a dynamic ID that always contains the substring "btn". Upon clicking this button, a text box appears within the same iframe, having a dynamic ID containing the substring "txtBox". You have to input text into this text box. The correct iframe does not have any unique identifiable attribute. Below is the simplified pseudo code to illustrate your initial setup: How should you modify your code to perform these operations efficiently, ensuring reliable element location and interaction among multiple iframes?
Medium Handling Mouse Actions Keyboard and Mouse Actions	Try practice test
You are automating a test case where a user has to hover over an image, causing a tooltip to appear. After the tooltip appears, the user has to right-click on the tooltip to see a context menu. You have to validate that the context menu appears correctly. The tooltip has an ID of tooltip and the context menu has an ID of contextMenu. Given the below pseudo code for the page: Which of the following Selenium Python code snippets should be used to perform the above-described actions and validations?
Easy Handling Multiple Windows Window Handles Switching Windows	Try practice test
You are working with Selenium to automate a test case where clicking a button on a webpage (http://example.com) opens a new window. You have to perform operations in the new window and then return to the original window. Below is a simplified version of your initial code: After clicking the button, a new window opens, and you need to input text into a text box in the new window with id="textBox". Afterwards, you need to close this new window and click another button in the original window with id="originalWindowButton". How should you modify your code to handle the multiple windows and perform the necessary operations?

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Selenium Online Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

Science behind Adaface tests

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the Selenium Online Test from your dashboard by entering their email address.

Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

Selenium Hiring Test FAQs

How is the test customized for Python Selenium roles?

Our standard Selenium test evaluates Selenium skills without focusing on any particular programming language. We can customize the test to include questions that evaluate Python fundamentals using MCQs and hands-on Python experience using coding questions. You can check our standard Python Test to review sample Python questions.

How is the test customized for Java Selenium roles?

Our standard Selenium test evaluates Selenium skills without focusing on any particular programming language. We can customize the test to include questions that evaluate Java fundamentals using MCQs and hands-on Java experience using coding questions. You can check our standard Java Test to review sample Java questions.

Can the Selenium webdriver assessment test evaluate for Manual Testing skills?

The test focuses on Automation testing with Selenium. However, we can add Manual testing MCQs to the test and customize it to your role. You can check our standard Manual Testing Online Test to review sample questions.

Is there a selenium online test for experienced hires?

The Selenium online test can be customized according to the seniority level & role requirements for your open role.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

Non-googleable questions
IP proctoring
Screen proctoring
Web proctoring
Webcam proctoring
Plagiarism detection
Secure browser
Copy paste protection

Read more about the proctoring features.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.
